Why Choose Northwest Applied Marine?

NWAM is a member of ABYC and has employees holding current certifications in Marine Electrical and Marine Corrosion. We encourage our employees to pursue continuing education including ABYC & NMEA certifications. Our engineering department is ABYC-trained and certified ensuring all projects and components meet or exceed the latest standards.

NWAM uses top quality components in our products from wire and terminations, to switches and circuit protection. All connections and terminations for marine applications are tinned, and in non-dry locations use heat-shrink sealed type connectors to prevent intrusion of corrosive elements. All materials and components also meet strict RoHS compliance directives as required for many government applications.

Harnesses and panels are assembled by hand and with wire processing machinery using regularly calibrated tools and equipment. Detailed assembly procedures, drawings and quality assurance methods are used throughout our process. Delivering flawless, high quality products to our customers is NWAM’s commitment. All of our products are manufactured at our facilities in Eastern Washington.

NWAM brings over 45 years of manufacturing and engineering experience to your specific electrical needs. We can build to your specifications, or design a complex electrical system from the ground up calculating all worst-case operational parameters down to the discrete conductor. We also have many years of experience applying sound product design to manufacturing reducing factory labor and specialized training while mitigating the impacts of tribal knowledge.

Documentation helps insure consistency in the factory, enhances communications with customers, and results in products that consistently and reliably perform. NWAM is committed to improving and refining our documentation in support of all our products’ stakeholders. NWAM utilizes AutoCAD® as our primary software platform for drafting and engineering documentation.

We offer inventory stocking programs to support low volume weekly deliveries in support of our customer’s minimal inventory initiatives and production mix variations.

Customer Are Saying…

“We fish in our boat offshore in waters where safety and reliability are key. NWAM helped us upgrade and label our entire electrical system. We can now isolate the motors from the main system and after-market accessories, and in the event of any component failures we can trace out the problem quickly – it’s the difference between being stranded offshore and getting home.”

“Northwest Applied Marine’s understanding of electrical systems and attention to detail is outstanding. All the work they’ve performed on my boat has been extremely reliable, well thought out and organized with a service vessel in mind.”
